When he wakes up, modern college student Li Mo is completely dumbfounded! Not only has he transmigrated into the world of Journey to the West, where immortals wage war, he's also become one of its standard cannon fodder characters: Little Drill Wind, so ugly he could frighten heaven and earth, and destined to be knocked out by a monkey with a single blow right from the start! “The king sent me to patrol the mountain~~” And that awful, clangy voice is the genuine article!
Luckily, even the ugliest path isn't a dead end. The Mountain Patrol Sign-in System may be late, but it has finally arrived! Tap his clapper, take a stroll, flirt with passing female demons, and earn a sign-in reward? Cultivation, immortal pills, magical treasures, divine abilities... He can grow stronger just by taking it easy?
Li Mo immediately makes a grand vow: First, lie low at Lion Camel Ridge for five hundred years! Daily tasks: patrol and sign in, flirt and shoot the breeze, settle every grudge, and never let one wait until tomorrow! The plan is simple: keep his head down and grow stronger!
Just as Tang Sanzang and his disciples draw near, the wheels of fate start spinning wildly! The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge go down, and Li Mo beats a hasty retreat, only to stumble upon a dying... monkey? What?! You say you're the real Sun Wukong? The one who was beaten to death at Spirit Mountain? And the one who went to fetch the scriptures was the Six-Eared Macaque?!!
Looking at the wisp of Brother Monkey's soul, Li Mo recalls the countless rare treasures and pills he's received from the System and breaks into a sly... er, merciful smile. “Patriarch Bodhi won't help you? Then I will! Stick with me, and I'll make sure you get your true body back!”
From then on, Journey to the West goes completely off the rails! An ugly little mountain-patrol demon, ugly to the depths of his soul, joins forces with the irascible remnant spirit of Brother Monkey. Together, they swindle their way across the land, recruit demons by the thousands, overturn the Dragon Palace, flatten the Underworld, and storm Lingxiao Palace! Their ultimate goal? Buddhas of Spirit Mountain, get ready for a little “physical salvation” courtesy of a modern office worker and an irascible Monkey King! I, Li Mo, will rule all six realms!
